Phase 1 has been completed to re-tree Blackburn Hamlet. Ecology Ottawa contributed 30 fruit and nut trees to volunteers that showed up for the recent tree planting in the Hamlet on Saturday May 24th. This planting means that we should have a terrific fruit grove in 5 – 7 years that will produce fruit for the nieghbourhood. A fantastic organizing team was joined by Councillor Bloess and MP Galipeau in the planting.
